BG Japanese Leather Skiving Knife, 35mm Blade, Right Hand

Japanese skiving knives are a core tool for leatherworkers for their precision and versatility, thanks to several key features. Their single bevel, unlike many Western knives, allows for fine, controlled cuts essential for skiving, the process of thinning leather edges. This bevel helps guide the knife for clean, even skives. Our BG Japanese skiving knife uses a premium D2 steel, known for its balance of hardness and toughness. This steel, combined with hand polishing, contributes to exceptional sharpness. The handle design supports various grips for both vertical cutting and angled skiving, important for different techniques. Beyond skiving, these knives excel at long cuts, trimming, and other detail work, adapting to various leather thicknesses and projects. The combination of single bevel, quality steel, ergonomic handle, and resulting sharpness makes them favored tools for leatherworkers seeking precision and control.

Size: 

  • Blade (across the face): 35mm (1-3/8" inch)
  • Wood Handle: 4-1/8" (105mm)
  • Combined Length: 6-5/8" (170mm)

Blade Material: D2 Steel

Blade Types:

  • Straight
  • Angled

Wood Handle Material Options:

  • Cocobolo wood
  • Ebony wood
  • Olive wood

Please note that each handle may vary slightly in color from what you see in the image. No two knives are the same!

What's the difference between Straight and Angled Blade Skiving Knives?

  • Straight blade is designed for long, even skives and smooth, continuous cuts along edges or larger surfaces, offering stability and control when thinning leather evenly.
  • Angled blade provides greater control and visibility for detailed work, corners, and curved skiving, allowing a more natural wrist position for comfort and precision.
  • Both feature premium D2 steel, a single-bevel edge, and a hand-polished finish for sharpness, durability, and consistency.

The tool I didn’t know I was missing

This is my first knife of this type and I am very happy to have added it to my tool arsenal. I think it will come in handy in a lot of cutting applications. Very sharp out of the package, and with its pronounced single bevel I have to think it’ll be fairly hard to muck up sharpening it when the time...

Great knife

I've bought a couple skiving knifes in the past, all of which were incredibly frustrating to use. This one was sharp out of the box, the right length for precise use, and leaves me confident in how well it does it's job.

Great skiving knife.

I got this blade because inside corners were too difficult with a head knife. Problem solved, and learning how to use this knife in other ways, it’s super handy. Good tool steel it stays sharp.

Great tool to have on your bench!

Hi everyone. This tool comes very sharp and ready to use! I ordered the olive wood handle style. The handle is smooth, feels good in hand when using the tool. The blade sharpens well and maintains its edge. Highly recommended.
